Seeing the troubled look on Wang Yuxi's face, Chen Kai felt somewhat anxious.
"I'm only doing this for your own good. You really can't go back now. If Wang Haokang were to harm you and I'm not by your side, I won't be able to protect you. If anything happens to you, I…"
His words trailed off mid-sentence. Wang Yuxi managed a forced smile, but it looked strained.
"After all, I am your grandfather's biological daughter. Even if he's angry, I doubt he'd do anything drastic. So the 'if anything happens to you' you just said might be a little inappropriate."
Qin Xiang hurriedly chipped in.
"Auntie, Xiao Kai didn't mean it that way. He's just worried that once you go home, the old man might take some harsh actions against you."
"If that happens, it won't be easy for you two to meet again in the future."
"I think, you should stay here for tonight. Maybe by tomorrow, his anger will have subsided. By then, going back home shouldn't be an issue."
